Faced with many packagesMorocco coach Vahid Halilhodzic will not be able to count on Hakim Ziyech (Ajax) and Selim Amallah (Standard) for friendlies against Libya on Friday and Gabon on Tuesday. The technician gave details on these two issues Wednesday at a press conference starting with Ziyech.
"He is leaving today (Wednesday), he is extremely tired. The opinion of his club did not influence me at all, it's my decision. I spoke twice with him, the first time I told him 'no you'll stay until the end'. Yesterday (Tuesday), he came back to speak to me with a lot of sincerity: 'I am tired, I can not anymore'. He has been playing continuously for 12 years, his body does not respond anymore. You have to be reasonable", Said the former coach of FC Nantes.
For its part, the binational Amallah gave up his first summons after taking a bad shot, but "Coach Vahid" does not exclude to see him come anyway to participate in the rally. "Unfortunately, he took a blow and suffered a trauma (concussion, editor's note). I do not think he can play, but I would like him to come so that I can see the boy. We watched him on his last matches and he's an interesting player"Said the Moroccan coach. In doubt, his teammate at the Standard, Mehdi Carcela-Gonzalez, was called in reinforcements.
